i just love the view outside my window... you don't need to travel miles or take a flight to see mountains and rivers...

Steps to preparing a bento... 1. make the food.

In this case, i prepared french toast using danish sweet bread and cheap eggs. I also fried chicken sticks and put some raw cabbage for a balanced diet.

2. Put the cover on.

3. Put the bento and fork into the nice bag i got from shopping for a belt. Lowry's Farm. Voila! the bento is done!

Normally i cook rice, but today decided to try something different. You know what, in the end, guixiang didn't make bento today ( a miracle ) cos' she couldn't wake up. So i was so tempted to eat at little mermaid's again, i didn't have my bento :S and i had too much bread at little mermaid cos' they had free flow of bread. It was a friday.

After that, tt night we went for Gracie's pizza (above SHIPS) it was great. Love the carbonara pizza. It had egg on top! It was fun! we expanded into a group of 7. They also had a free flow of drinks and the place opened until 2 am. so we stayed till 1 am to chat.

It was fun. I finally got to talk with Yoo Jin, my neighbour. She is super rich! her parents wanted to get her a BMW, and wanted to ship it to Japan from the states! I can't believe it!!! She also wanted to move to an apartment which is 90000yen a month!!! she is too rich! hope by the time i come back from golden week she has a car already so she can drive us to travel ;)

Just now, i went out to meet connie, levi's friend, who wanted to practise a few chinese phrases before going to shanghai to travel. She's cool. She's a canadian who has been in hiroshima for 6 years now... she loves her life here. She changed my perspective about hiroshima. I have been hearing too much negative stuff about hiroshima, about how boring it is... and i just agreed with everybody else blindly. But actually, unaware of it, i love hiroshima. I love the peace, quiet, and the scenery. We went to a cafe to chat, and then after that went to another cafe for lunch, and thereafter shopped a while, ( i got a super cheap bag!!!) only 525 yen! i'm quite lucky in this kinda stufff.

here's the bag! its much too troublesome to carry my normal working bag... its a little too big... ;)

and after our shopping, we went to a cafe again to chat. lol even though she has been here for 6 years, her japanese is not as good. And her japanese only got better cos' she got herself a japanese boyfriend who couldn't speak english at all... and her boyfriend is a semi-pro baseball player. A pitcher, infact. Cool~~~

It's really nice to talk to different kinda people... yea... she said that we should meet up again... so i'm looking forward to it ;) i have japanese lesson at 10 tomorrow, so shd prob wake up early. so じゃ :S btw these few days i have nothing to do and i'm so tired of *acting* busy and i can't chat:S so sian...

2007-03-11T10:26:00.000+08:00

Hey, paiseh, hope you guys don't mind... i just copy and paste the post cos' too lazy.

Hrr... if you guys want more photos here's the link:
http://xxyylifeevolution.spaces.live.com/photos/
there are nice nice hiroshima castle photos and scenery can go look. anyway the things here damn ex. even though i see those things so nice i wana buy :S hope to hear from you guys soon and take care in singapore and china...

Last Friday i went for a buffet dinner... At the same place in pacela, for the third time~~~, and i still don't know where the place is called. So I went to have a couple of drinks with colleagues and new found friends at the shack and after which we went to the g-spot for karaoke...

then we saw one black strangling another (for fun?) cos' the other guy didn't put up any resistance at all! thereafter, we got freaked out and we left for another bar which has salsa dancing. I tried to learn but gave up ;) not interested in dancing anyways.

Last Saturday I went to HIC and they had a celebration!!! i made a gun, which you can put rubber bands in as your ammo and shoot! i shot something and here's my prize!

And we made little Japanese dolls... The festival is Hina Matsuuri. It's a day for girls. There will be lots of Japanese dolls. and colleagues even gave us girls food for matsuuri! It was okada-san's bdae and we bought her a Hina Matsuuri cake by mistake!

Here's the doll i made. Some westerners are really open. Levi asked me if i would want to teach him chinese in his apartment and also whether i wana watch anime in his apartment and he would translate for me cos' i said i wanted to watch. But its so dangerous, even if he didn't mean any harm. Saki, my japanese 18 year old teacher, also met a spanish guy who asked he to teach him japanese in his apartment.??!! will western girls think that its safe?

Anyway, yamaguchi san promised to bring us to chinese dim sum buffet and we're having another chinese buffet at the end of the month. We went for Korean BBQ this friday and they wanted to enter me into an all-you-can-eat competition!!! :S they say i eat too much! and that i don't grow fat, well, i do~~~ they even said that they didn't mind being my manager and fly me to michigan to enter the competition! they were apalled... :S by how much i eat...

Well, we're also supposed to catch a baseball game on 13th April, one day after my BDae;) hope it'll be fun. Saki and me both love suzuki ichiro, the cool cool cool baseball player. My gosh... *blush* and the weather is back to being so cold i can hardly stand it at all... :S

Well, the flowers are starting to bloom though. Hope springtime comes soon. Gotta start planning for travel. ;)

2007-02-26T22:09:00.000+08:00

got on a hell train back from shanghai to suzhou, long story:

reached shanghai and bought train ticket back to suzhou at ard 7+am, told the person at the ticketing booth that we want 8+ ticket at night, but they tot is 8+ am. den no one check so obviously didn't know until we went to the train st at 7+pm that night. somehow we realized we got the wrong ticket, went to change but don't have seat liao. the only thing they can give us is the standing ticket. no choice so take lor.

hmmm this is where hell starts: we stood along the passage way beteen the seats. not only us standing, alot of pple too so very very squeezy le. already feeling like squashed tuna den got attendent pushing trolley along the passage way selling stuff. feel like killling them at that time

2007-02-26T21:29:00.000+08:00

on 21-02-07 morning we arrived xia men...hmmm a very city place...not alot of scenic places but do some shopping there though we didn't have alot of shopping time. fishing???a pavilion in the middle of a lake
the tour guide was saying the pple in xiamen are/were very lazy so when they build this sch building there was no toilet. the students had to run down the stairs just to used the toilet and back up again to their classroom. luckly for them now, there's toilet inside.

"nan pu tuo si"
南普陀寺also got "sambawang" in xiamen
so sad, eat by the road side; nice or not nice?tunnel here we come!!!

hihi pple...happy chinese new year....my very 1st cny in china, no goodies to eat but we managed to buy "mei zhen xiang" "bua kua", found it in shanghai. so lucky. anyway we spent our cny hols in 武夷山 and 厦门. maybe some only heard of 厦门 but not 武夷山. 武夷山 is more of sceneries, much more beautiful but have to climb alot alot alot of steps. the view is great and air is fresh.

hmmm we signed a cny package with the agency here, 7D6N for 1350rmb but but we only got 2 night where we can sleep in hotel cos the rest of the nights we are on the train. it's cheap la so no choice.

took a train from shanghai to 武夷山 on 18 feb sun(初一) at 6.30pm. the sky here darkens early so it look dark @6.30pm.

next morning we arrived at 武夷山 ard 9+ and the first thing we do is to climb 天游峰 in another words climb alot alot of steps but it is still worth it.

everyone in the photo except me!!!

2007-02-19T19:18:00.001+08:00

My CNY is slow~~~ there's nothing much going on. I forgot to bring my digital camera when i was out.

After which we went to have ramen, with free flow of egg!!! and then one of our colleagues took us to the mitaki-temple, which was super nice and serene, too bad i didn't bring my camera, the guy didn't go and the girl don't have a camera.
